Symbol
The class or term up to which this symbol is accessible, or RootClass if it is public.
The class or term up to which this symbol is accessible, or RootClass if it is public. As java protected statics are otherwise completely inaccessible in scala, they are treated as public.
The modifiers of this symbol
After the typer phase (before, look at the definition's Modifiers), contains the annotations attached to member a definition (class, method, type, field).
The decoded name of the symbol, e.
The decoded name of the symbol, e.g. == instead of $eq$eq.
String representation of symbol's definition.
String representation of symbol's definition. It uses the symbol's raw info to avoid forcing types.
The owner, skipping package objects.
The next enclosing class.
The name of the symbol before decoding, e.
The name of the symbol before decoding, e.g. $eq$eq instead of ==.
String representation of existentially bound variable
Though both Symbol and Modifiers widen this method to public, it's defined protected here to give us the option in the future to route flag methods through accessors and disallow raw flag manipulation.

Symbol of a type parameter
The owner of this symbol.
Access level encoding: there are three scala flags (PRIVATE, PROTECTED, and LOCAL) which combine with value privateWithin (the "foo" in private[foo]) to define from where an entity can be accessed.
Access level encoding: there are three scala flags (PRIVATE, PROTECTED, and LOCAL) which combine with value privateWithin (the "foo" in private[foo]) to define from where an entity can be accessed. The meanings are as follows:
PRIVATE access restricted to class only. PROTECTED access restricted to class and subclasses only. LOCAL can only be set in conjunction with PRIVATE or PROTECTED. Further restricts access to the same object instance.
In addition, privateWithin can be used to set a visibility barrier. When set, everything contained in the named enclosing package or class has access. It is incompatible with PRIVATE or LOCAL, but is additive with PROTECTED (i.e. if either the flags or privateWithin allow access, then it is allowed.)
The java access levels translate as follows:
java private: hasFlag(PRIVATE) && !hasAccessBoundary java package: !hasFlag(PRIVATE | PROTECTED) && (privateWithin == enclosing package) java protected: hasFlag(PROTECTED) && (privateWithin == enclosing package) java public: !hasFlag(PRIVATE | PROTECTED) && !hasAccessBoundary
If the given flag is set on this symbol, also set the corresponding notFLAG.
If the given flag is set on this symbol, also set the corresponding notFLAG. For instance if flag is PRIVATE, the notPRIVATE flag will be set if PRIVATE is currently set.
The simple name of this Symbol
If this is a package object or its implementing class, its owner: otherwise this.
The module corresponding to this module class (note that this is not updated when a module is cloned), or NoSymbol if this is not a ModuleClass.

otherwise NoPrefix.
If symbol is a class, the type this.type in this class,
otherwise NoPrefix.
We always have: thisType <:< typeOfThis
